Champagne Eyes with Bold Lips | Makeup Look

Hello Beautiful!

So I decided to do a Makeup Look using my first Mac Lipstick - Diva. It is such a beautiful Burgundy shade with Red undertones. I kept the eyes simple for the lips to be the focus. Let's begin with the tutorial. 



Products Used:

Face:
I skipped foundation and used the concealer on the high points of my face, also I kept my face matte and the only glow/sheen that came was from the Blusher.

Tools Used:
  • L.A. Girl Pro Concealer - Creamy Beige.
  • Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
  • LORAC Pro 2 Palette - Buff, Snow, Lt. Brown, Cool Gray, Beige)
  • Color Studio Professional Hypno Black Eye Marker.
  • Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara.
  • Rimmel - Exaggerate Eye Definer - In The Nude.
Tools Used:
  • Morphe Brushes Blending Brush MB23.
  • e.l.f Blending Brush.
  • e.l.f Shader Brush.
  • A pencil Brush.

Lips:
  • MAC Lipstick - Diva

Steps:

Eyes:
  1. After prepping my eyes with concealer and setting them with powder, I blended the Lt. Brown shade in my crease and above it making sure I don't take it up to my brow-bone. 
  2. I buffed in the Cool Gray shade on the outer corner of my eyes and into my crease. Make sure you don't take it above the crease, keep it nice and precise in the crease.
  3. I packed in the shade beige on to the the lid focusing it more in the inner part and blending it with the Cool Grey on the outer corner of my eyes.
  4. With Snow layered over Buff, I highlighted the brow bone and the inner corners.
  5. I went over my crease again with Lt. brown to blend everything so there were no harsh lines.
  6. After applying the winged eye-liner, I lined my lower lash line with cool grey and smoked it out a little with Lt. Brown.
  7. I lined my water line with the Nude Eye pencil and applied the mascara to my lashes. Two coats for the upper lash and one for the bottom.
  8. After finishing the eyes I wiped the under eye area with a makeup removing wipe and moved on to the face makeup.

Face:
  1. I kept my face very simple for this look. No foundation and no contouring.
  2. After moisturizing with my favorite L'oreal Hydra Total, I only used a concealer under my eyes (in a triangle shape), in the middle of my forehead, bridge of the nose and little on the chin. With a damp Real Techniques Sponge I blended it in tapping motion and set it immediately with the pressed powder.
  3. With Stay Matte, I lightly powdered the rest of my face.
  4. For Blush, I used Luminoso focusing it more on the apple of my cheeks and blending it back.
Lips: 
  1. I applied two layers of Mac Diva on already moisturized lips. I recommend lining your lips with a lip pencil or brush first so the application is neat.


So there's the final look. Luminoso paired up beautifully with the dark bold lip. I love how Diva looks on me, it looks slightly darker than in the pictures here. Also the necklace is from Urban Chic - I love this chunky statement necklace.

I hope you liked this look, I'm planning to start doing spring Makeup looks. I also upload tutorials on my Snapchat (gulexehra) so make sure you follow me there. If you have any suggestion for a makeup look, leave it down below.

How do you pair up your bold lipsticks?

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

I Hauled -again!!

Hello Beautiful!

So, I was able to cross of two things off my Wish List for December, YAY, and get something extra because I had my eyes on it for a very long time now.
November and December have been full of hauls, I have been doing a lot of damage to my wallet! Every time I try to impose a ban on myself, a brand launches a new product (I'm looking at you Color Studio Professional for launching the Color Play Lipsticks) and then I have to get it *sigh*.

If you don't know what Wish-List is all about on my blog, it is a post I do every month where I share the products I select (from my extensive WishList) in hope of finally purchasing them in that month and also as a reminder to myself of the products I need to buy. You can read more about why and how I do it here and look through all my Wish-Lists here!

What I Hauled?


a) Bourjois Paris Healthy Mix Foundation - 52 Vanilla.
b) MAC Cosmetics Lipstick - Diva.
c) e.l.f - Poreless Face Primer.

If you saw my WishList for December you'd know why I wanted the Healthy Mix Foundation and MAC Diva. So on to the primer, I have been using an eye primer for my eye (duh) but I had never before primed my face. The only reason I wanted to try a face primer was for my makeup to last longer. I don't really have pore issues but still wanted a 'poreless' primer so that I can use it on my mom too. After hearing good reviews about this one I gave it a go. I'm still testing it to form a thorough review.



I bought the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation for Rs. 2300 from Naheed Supermarket, MAC Diva from a fellow blogger and Poreless Primer from a lady on Sheops (facebook buy-sell group) for Rs. 1000.

Let me know if there's anything you want me to review first. I can't wait to do Winter looks with MAC Diva! Also, were you able to cross items off your WishList? Let me know! (:

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

WishList - December

Hello Beautiful!

It seems it was just yesterday when I put up my WishList for November (which you can read here) or maybe it's because I put that one up a little late than I usually do. Oh well the time really went by so fast and we're already in December and another New Year is just on it's way! I was able to get everything in my last Wish-List *Alhamdulillah* and hopefully I'd be able to cross the items off this wish-list too. Also you can read my first post (here) to know why and how I put these up (: So here's what I really really want to get this month!



1. Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette:
          This is such a beautiful warm nude eye shadow palette! If you love chocolate and makeup then this one is a special treat for you! I have the Too Faced Chocolate Bar and as much as I love it I also have my eyes set on this one for the color theme specially, warm nudes mixed with that beautiful plum shade and also for the great reviews it has. They are compared to Urban Decay shadows by some while they are not expensive.

2. Winter'15 Collection by HOBO by HUB:
          If you read my post on HOBO by HUB on their Winter'15 Collection you know why this is here. They have got the most amazing collection of bags, shoes, sunglasses and accessories! You must read my post here to see for yourself. I love everything specially the bags and the boots but this bag in particular caught my eye! It's the perfect color to go with every outfit, also it looks so classy! Definitely need this!!

3. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation:
          As Winter is here, my combination skin is leaning more towards the drier side, with dry patches around my nose and mouth. I love a good matte finish for Summer but for winters I want a good foundation with a satin finish. I tend to stay away from dewy foundations thanks to my combination skin. As I recently just started wearing foundation I haven't really experimented with many but reading the great reviews for this and also having used one of Bourjois Foundation (I use the 123 Perfect one) I really gotta buy this for the Winter.

4. MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Diva:
          Is this not a gorgeous gorgeous shade? Specially for this time of the year! Mascara and this and you're ready to take over the world! Ok probably that was just too much but really! This is such a perfect shade for this season if you love to rock a bold lip!

5. Forever 21 - Plush-Lined Longline Jacket in Burgundy:
          I know I know.. We don't really get that much Winter here in my city but yes hear me out. I have been looking for a jacket that's not just cozy but well put together and chic and this jacket right here is that! I love it. It's soft and it's just perfect. This is available in 3 colors (Olive, Black and Burgundy) but Burgundy is my favorite for this time of the year, I want everything in this shade! Hence this jacket here is perfection for me!

Well that's my WishList for this month. I hope I get some of it if not all, specially that beautiful jacket! Let me know what you have your eyes on and don't forget to share your wish-lists with me. I'd love to know. I hope you have a great December and a happy transition into the next year! <3

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!
